Ziling hesitated, tears rolling down, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Hu Yan is not persecuted, he knows that this matter cannot be forced, and she has to decide whether Ziling will stay or not. Although he likes Ziling in his heart, he also hopes that Ziling can follow him out of here. But more than that, there are worries. A tangled and contradictory emotion haunted me.

He hoped that Ziling would follow him, but at the same time, he was worried that the journey would be difficult and dangerous, and Ziling would suffer if he followed. Or that with his current ability, there is no way to protect Ziling well. If he encounters a predicament in the future, Hu Yan will not be able to protect Ziling as he is now, which he will never accept. Maybe this will make him regret it for the rest of his life, and he will regret his persistence and decision today for the rest of his life.

Seeing Hu Yan's sad face, Zhuang Bai, who was a person who came over, naturally understood what Hu Yan was thinking, and didn't say anything, just patted Hu Yan's shoulder to show understanding.

After a long time, Ziling withdrew his eyes from the ruin-like immortal tomb, turned his head and swept his gaze over everyone beside him, and finally stopped on Hu Yan's body and said with rain: "You are right, there is really no need for me to continue to stay in this place." I'm just a little reluctant, reluctant to the mountains here, reluctant to the trees here, and reluctant to guard the immortal tomb for my grandfather, but I am even more reluctant to part with you. Now that the immortal tomb has collapsed, I have nothing left to protect. Little brother, I am willing to leave here with you. ”

Hearing Ziling say this, Hu Yan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but said with some hesitation: "But Ziling, our journey must be difficult, I'm afraid you ......."

Before she finished speaking, Ziling said eagerly: "Little brother, I know, but I'm not afraid, as long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

"Ziling's words are all said for this part, Brother Hu, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I believe that Ziling will take good care of herself, not to mention us. Zhuang Bai patted Hu Yan's shoulder and said with a smile.

Wuqiu and Jin Ning'er saw that Ziling agreed to go on the road with everyone, and they were immediately overjoyed, pulling Ziling to jump up happily.

Seeing this, naturally there is nothing to say. What's more, he originally hoped that Ziling would go with him. So he said, "Well, in that case, let's stay here tonight and rest for the night, and then go on the road tomorrow morning." ”

Hearing Hu Yan say this, Wu Qiu couldn't help but cheer: "It's so good, I can finally rest." After saying that, I lay down and never wanted to get up again.

Jin Ning'er pulled Ziling aside to talk about topics that could only be talked about at their daughter's house.

Hu Yan sat under the tree, looking at the two girls whispering in the distance, with a rare smile on his face.

The experience of these two days can be said to be richer than the experience of more than ten years before Hu Yan, although there are many difficulties, but there are no dangers. What's even happier is that he actually refined the Ancient Spirit Treasure Qiankun Emperor Bell. In this way, he can be regarded as a cultivator with Dharma weapons.

It's just that what makes Hu Yan more distressed is that controlling this Qiankun Emperor Clock requires a lot of energy. With his own cultivation, he can't exert the power that the ancient spiritual weapon of the Qiankun Emperor Bell should have. So he was eager to improve his cultivation. However, he also understood that this cultivation was not an easy thing to do, and the master had also warned him that cultivation needed to be calm, step by step, and not rushed. For the master's admonition, he naturally took it to heart and never forgot it.

Cuckoo......

At this moment, Hu Yan's stomach screamed uncontrollably, thinking about it, the last time he ate was before entering the Immortal Tomb, and he hadn't eaten for two days now. Before, my spirit had been in a tense state, but I didn't feel hungry, but now that the whole person is relaxed, not only does my spirit feel abnormally tired, but even my stomach begins to protest.

As soon as Hu Yan's stomach screamed, it seemed to hook up the roundworms in other people's stomachs, and suddenly the cooing sounds came and went.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"It looks like everyone is hungry, do you still have food in your backpack?" asked Hu Yan as he looked at Wuqiu lying on the ground.

Wuqiu pouted and said: "Before, because I was in a hurry to find Brother Zhuang, I put the backpack outside, you see that this place has become like this now, how can I find the backpack?"

Hu Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a wry smile: "I forgot about it." Then I'll have to go hungry for tonight, and I'll find a way to fill my stomach tomorrow. ”

At this time, Zhuang Bai smiled and said: "That's not it, I still have food here!"

Saying that, Zhuang Bai put his hand into the Qiankun bag hanging from his waist and groped for a while, and actually took out a pancake from it.

"Brother Hu continue!" Zhuang Bai threw the pancake to Hu Yan and continued to reach into the Qiankun bag and fumble it. After a while, another piece of pancake was touched. Gradually, more and more pancakes were touched, and Hu Yan's eyes straightened for a while.

After everyone had a piece of pancake, Zhuang Bai stopped and said with a smile: "There is nothing else, there are a lot of pancakes, so let's eat them." ”

If you don't want to be hungry, you can't be polite, you open your mouth and bite it, but after a while, your brows twisted, and she covered her mouth and shook her head and said: "Brother Zhuang, your pancake is too hard, your toothache, no, no, I can't eat this thing." ”

Zhuang Bai couldn't help laughing when he saw Wuqiu's pitiful appearance: "How can you eat pancakes like this, this cake has to be chewed slowly." It tastes even better if you bubble it in water. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out a sheepskin water bag from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Wu Qiu.

"Brother Zhuang, how many good things do you have in your bag?" asked Hu Yan with some surprise.

Zhuang Bai smiled and said, "It's not much, it's just some things that you need for daily life." By the way, there's also a dog demon. ”

Speaking of the dog demon Xiao Hei, Ziling pointed to the Qiankun bag hanging on Zhuang Bai's waist and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhuang, Xiao Hei will be fine in that bag, right?"

Zhuang Bai shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this little guy is fine, when its injuries are completely healed, you can let it out." ”

"That's good! Thank you, Brother Zhuang. Ziling looked at Zhuang Bai gratefully.

"By the way, Ziling, how did you know Xiao Hei? Why don't you tell us about Xiao Hei?" "Now that I have something to eat, Hu Yan wants to hear about that little black, anyway, I'm idle, and I'm idle anyway, while nibbling on the hard-to-swallow pancakes, it's also pleasant to listen to Xiao Hei's things.

Ziling carefully broke the pancake in her hand, thought for a while, and said, "Think about it, it should be a few years ago when I went up to the mountains with my father to hunt, tracking a muntjac, and accidentally arrived here." I met the tomb keeper grandfather and Xiao Hei, who was still an ordinary little black dog at that time. A pair of eyes are always dripping, not to mention how cute. ”

After Ziling stuffed a small piece of pancake into her mouth, she continued: "Later, after my father's accident, I often went to the mountains alone to look for wild things, and by the way, I saw the tomb keeper grandpa and Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei is very obedient and loyal. Once, I fell off a cliff in order to pick a Ganoderma lucidum grass, but fortunately I got stuck on the cliff wall, and Xiao Hei ran back to call my grandfather to guard the tomb to rescue me. ”

After Ziling swallowed the pancake in his mouth, he continued: "I also asked the tomb keeper grandfather why he wanted to protect this immortal tomb all the time, and he told me that this is their family's mission, and they will protect it for the rest of their lives. But what he regrets the most is that he has no descendants and can't keep guarding it. Fortunately, there is Xiao Hei, the tomb keeper grandfather has a good relationship with it, and has never treated it as a dog, but has always regarded it as his own child and his own relatives. Xiao Hei is very spiritual, and he can always understand the mind of his grandfather who guards the tomb. It also knows the mission of the tomb keeper, so Xiao Hei also takes the tomb guard as his own responsibility, even after the death of the tomb keeper grandfather, Xiao Hei has always been guarding this fairy tomb with his last wish. ”

Hearing this, everyone was already full of emotion, a dog can still be so loyal, but now people are not as good as a dog.

Ziling continued to tell Xiao Hei's story, but Hu Yan fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he seemed to see the majestic giant dog demon standing on the rocky hill......

That year, an old man collecting firewood picked up a black milk dog under a tree, and the milk dog was as thin as wood and was dying. The old man revived it with a bowl of rice soup.

He said to it, "You will be my child from now on, and you will depend on each other for your life from now on."

It tilted its head, tears in its eyes.

That year, the old man was terminally ill and dying. It traveled hundreds of miles to find a girl who often came to hunt in the mountains, and wanted her to save him.

But the old man had run out of oil lamps and had no cure.

He said: Xiao Hei, I'm leaving, I can't take care of you in the future.

It looked at him, whimpering under its breath, tears in its eyes.

He said: Ah Ling is a good girl, you go with her, she will definitely take good care of you for me.

It shook its head and tears rained down.

He said: What I can't worry about now is the Immortal Tomb and you, Xiao Hei. You must live well, just like when I picked you up, and live strongly.

It wails and mourns.

The old man was still dead after all, and its heart seemed to be dead all at once, leaving behind only a soulless shell, which did not eat or drink, and was dying.

She said: Xiao Hei, grandpa said to let you live well. Don't you listen to grandpa?

It is unmoved.

She said: Grandpa said that what he can't worry about the most is the fairy tomb and you, do you want grandpa to die without turning a blind eye?

It slowly raised its head and shook its head weakly.

She said: Since you don't want to, then cheer up, live well, finish what he couldn't do for grandpa, and don't let grandpa leave regrets.

It struggled to its feet. In front of him was a dead pheasant and a basin of clear water.

With tears in its eyes, it ate the pheasant and the water cleanly.

She shed tears of relief: This is a good dog, this is the little black I like. In the future, I will accompany you, accompany you to guard the tomb of the immortals, and complete the things he failed to complete for my grandfather.

It whimpered and nodded vigorously......
